ERA Awardees
Jeroen de Baaij
The ERA Rosanna Gusmano Award has been a significant boost of my visibility within the field of Nephrology research. The recognition of the ERA has resulted in novel collaborations with European researchers. These new collaborations are instrumental in achieving my mission to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of kidney tubulopathies.

Andreas Kronbichler
As a rather senior young investigator, the acknowledgement of the Eberhard Ritz Award reinforced me to continue my ongoing collaborations and further expanding them. It also helps to involve more investigators across the globe.
National Society Grants
Leire Muñoz Hernando
The grant has allowed me to have access to training resources that I would not have been able to access otherwise and has given me encouragement to continue entering the world of research. In fact, I currently want to direct my professional career in this direction.

ERA has had a profound impact on my career and education. The National Grant has not only boosted my confidence but has also paved the way for future academic and clinical success.
Journals
Manuel Praga
I believe that the role of the reviewer is crucial to maintaining quality research and contribute to the selection of papers worthy of appearing in top journals such as NDT. To maintain independent and quality journals is fundamental, so that the reader has at his disposal medical information of the highest quality and originality.
